I use about 4 pairs of nitrate gloves per soaping session, more so because I have long nails. I have dollar store talcum powder next to my glove box, makes changing out gloves lots easier. I compost, I can, I recycle, I have NO problem at all using lots of gloves. I'm kind of a hoarder...

Why are they so far behind???!

Bad news my MIL is under hospice care and her time with us are days. Good news she is home with us and her time left is full of love and dignity.

When using a pringles can, beside Vaseline or mineral oil. How do you get The soap to release?
